Description

The ON EXIT MENU command is used to specify commands which will execute when the cursor moves off of menu bars that do not have an ON EXIT PAD command associated with them. A pad is a menu option in a Xbase style menu. These types of menus are created with the DEFINE MENU and DEFINE PAD commands. The menu is identified by the name <menu name> that was assigned with the DEFINE MENU command. The command SET COMPATIBLE should be ON when using Xbase style menus.

<command>

The specified command may be any Recital/4GL command. To specify a command that will execute when an individual pad is selected, see the ON SELECTION PAD command. To specify a command to execute when an individual pad is highlighted, use the ON PAD command. Commands specified by an ON EXIT PAD command override commands specified by the ON EXIT MENU command. Used without a specified command, the ON EXIT MENU command disables previously specified commands.

Example

define menu main

  prompt "\<Exit" at 0,0
define pad filelist of main;
  prompt "\<Files" at 0,6
